Daily Care Tips for 316L Stainless Steel Jewelry

Wipe after wear — use a soft dry cloth to remove oils and dust.
Avoid harsh chemicals — keep jewelry away from perfume, bleach, and chlorine.
Remove before activities — swimming pools and heavy sweat can dull the finish.
Store separately — keep pieces in a pouch or box to avoid scratches.

Deep Cleaning Method

Mix a few drops of mild soap with warm water, soak the jewelry for 1-2 minutes, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. This simple method restores shine without damaging the PVD plating or zircon stones.
